Prior to Arrival

The spa facilities, including locker rooms, aqua lounges, mineral pool and relaxation areas, are available to hotel guests 18 years and older only, for a $35 fee. This daily fee is waived with the purchase of a treatment. The fitness center and H2O+ restaurant may be used by hotel guests without a fee.

For your enhanced comfort and relaxation, we suggest that you arrive 30 minutes before your scheduled treatment. This will allow you to relax in our lounge, dry sauna, and whirlpool and eucalyptus steam rooms. Arriving late will simply limit the time for your treatment, thus lessening its effectiveness and your pleasure. The full value of your treatment will be charged.

Shaving is not recommended prior to any body treatments or hair removal services. For men, shaving is recommended, but not necessary, prior to a facial. If you do choose to shave prior to your facial, be sure to do so at least two hours prior to your appointment. Shaving is not recommended prior to body treatments or hair removal services.
